-- and I mean I saw two iterations of stuff like this within minutes; the other one was some morons using wood, wood screws, and the skeleton of an old box spring to build a tent platform on the top of their car --
-- and was given the opportunity to "set my preferences."
I learned the following:
1. For suggestive content, the settings are "default" and "show less," which I guess makes sense but is bad news for the perverts.
2. For political content, the settings are "default" and "more," which also is bad news, but for everyone, perverts included.
3. I still don't see a setting for "don't show me weather reports for areas I don't live in," though. I guess we can't have everything.
For a closer look at all that junk, go to my post on Facebook; I'm not going to clog my blog with all those stupid screenshots, which are full-sized screenshots to show I didn't cut anything out.
No way to turn any of it off. No way just to see what my friends have posted -- I have to search long and hard to find any of that. Just ways to lessen the likelihood. And when you block one, three more pop up. It's an infernal social media game of whack-a-mole.
Or this. It's really this.
Something I have noticed:
My phone is probably the best Facebook machine, in that when I look at Facebook on my phone, I tend to see more of what my friends have posted.
Next, the desktop computer. More crapola, but I still get to see what my friends post.
Worst -- and by far the worst -- is my Kindle Fire. I seem to have nothing but crapola on Facebook when I use it.
